Scottish Terrier
Independent. confident. Yours.
Here's what nobody tells you about Scottish Terriers: they don't think they're dogs. They think they're tiny, bearded professors who've been assigned to supervise your household, and honestly, they're not wrong.

The Scottish Terrier experience
You know you're a Scottish Terrier owner when...
●The dignified head turn when you call their name, they heard you, they're just deciding whether to acknowledge it.
●That low-to-the-ground determined trot, beard swinging, like a tiny general inspecting the troops on morning patrol.
●The selective deafness that vanishes completely at the sound of a cheese wrapper from three rooms away.
●Watching them dig with those powerful front paws like they've been hired to install a swimming pool in your backyard by sundown.
●The Scottie stance, front paws planted, head up, ears forward, like they're posing for a portrait they know will be painted someday.
